About Caustic Soda pearls
Caustic Soda Ash is a highly alkaline, white, odorless solid that is soluble in water and is commonly used in a variety of industrial applications. It is highly demanded in the production of various chemicals, including soaps, detergents, and textiles and also used in petroleum refining, pulp and paper production, and water treatment. This is typically produced through the electrolysis of brine (a solution of salt and water) in a process known as the chlor-alkali process. Moreover, the Caustic Soda Ash is also used in cleaning agents, as a drain cleaner, and as a food additive in small amounts..
